It's pretty good I think, better than the last album which I liked a lot. This album is more well-considered in my opinion. The first album won a lot of attention because of the drive in their songs (but for me it was boring in the end - too much the same) but the second album shows that they potential is bigger. Favourite songs: Ruby, Angry Mob, Everything Is Average Nowadays, Heat It's pretty good I think, better than the last album which I liked a lot. This album is more well-considered in my opinion.

The critics who gave this album less than 70 are either high on something or stupid. I love this band and I think that this album is even better than the first. It's ridiculous giving it less than 70, it's packed with entertainment and they are the best live band you are ever likely to go and see. I'm not buying any of the music those critics recommend.

It's a great album, and no mistake. Not even the Kaiser's take themselves seriously, so why do all the critics that gave this tremendous, sing-along pop album such low marks expect this album to be a major musical force? Its about pop music. Simple songs, witty lyrics, catchy hooks. Its a brilliant pop record. If you don't like it, stop sulking and trying to bring everyone It's a great album, and no mistake.

Its a good album!! i like YT,AM more than Employment..the songs are more worked , the only mistake is the lack of originality...but it's logic...they're only keeping their style!! I really love this band!!! i dont know why people rate that ..worse...

i still havent gotten tired of listening to the songs on "employment" and now they created an album thats even better than the first. so far this album is one of the top 5 indie releases in 07... right beside Modest Mouse, Shins, Arcade Fire, and The Good The Bad and The Queen.

This is my new favorite band. Loved "Employment" and this one is, although similar, very good as well. Why do people get so irate at the fact that a band sounds like itself? If they are good at it, keep em coming. Sure a departure would be interesting, but let's leave experimentation to Mr. Yorke.

Kaiser Chiefs sounds like they were listened up to old Duran Duran´s records day after day... From New York Doll´s freshness of their debut to these pop songs... there are a lot of difference. I think they had chosen the wrong way, of course.

i don't know why the critics got to hard on this one, but when the first album of kc came out i was pretty amazed about those backup chorus and melodys and all that semi-electro sound behind it, and now listening to this new album, i can hear several changes, but still they're making great music and with good taste.

To Rocky and not enough of that certain something that made Employment great 100 bands could have made this...BUT none this gone it really saves it's self because it's better than all other rock it just misses the Kaiser Chiefs spark
